Across Colorado, there is a similar trend of low voter turnout. The Longmont Times-Call reported Sunday that as of Friday night, Boulder County had received less than 25 percent of its distributed ballots.

Through Tuesday, voters will decide state and local issues, many pertaining to educational matters. State ballot issues include a proposed record-setting income tax increase for educational funding through Amendment 66, for which support and opposition continue to pour in. It was reported by The Denver Post late last week that pro-Amendment 66 campaign funding exceeded $10.2 million.

Because time is limited, voters are strongly encouraged to drop off their ballots at the Routt County Courthouse downtown in lieu of mailing them in. The courthouse closes at 4:30 p.m. Monday and will reopen at 7 a.m. Tuesday.
